Press Release |

The 2013 Houston Astros CAREavan will hit the road on January 21 and will include over 30 public and private stops, reaching far and wide throughout central and south Texas, Oklahoma City and parts of Houston.

The 14-city tour consists of five days in the Houston area (Jan. 21-25) and two-day trips to Brownsville, Harlingen and McAllen (Jan. 22 – 23), and to Austin and San Antonio (Jan. 24 – 25). The team will also travel to two of the club’s minor league cities, making stops in Corpus Christi (Jan. 24) and Oklahoma City (Jan. 25).

Each year, the team's annual winter trek connects the team with its fan base. As part of the CAREavan, Astros players and alumni will appear at Academy Sports + Outdoors locations which are hosting free autograph sessions throughout the five-day tour. In addition to the public appearances, several CAREavan stops will center on the club's main community focus areas: supporting cancer-related causes, organizations that support the military, and youth baseball and softball programs.
